Course Description: Telehealth is recognized as an avenue for enhancing psychologists’ capacities to meet the mental health needs of a diverse and underserved public. Research has found that telepsychology has tremendous potential for improvements and innovations in care across a variety of clinical problems and demographic characteristics. The present study sought to inform training in telepsychology to explore the perspectives of doctoral students who have already been involved in such training. Researchers found that doctoral trainees can develop telepsychology competencies and suggest that a supportive, training-oriented environment and fit between telepsychology and existing programmatic areas of emphasis are likely key to success.
